If you don't know them they're an awesome Finish Melodic Power Death Metal band...haha seriously. But the vocals are closer to black than death metal.

The band play host to the best guitarist in the world right now: Mr. Alexi Laiho; he's a god. Faster than Yngwie and dammit better than vai.

Check them out now if you ain't heard of em ;)

Thoughts if you have heard em?

no probs.

if you find the singing too...er...bad

then check out the guitarists band Sinergy with a girl singer, they're also pretty awesome, if a bit more melodic.

Alexi Laiho is good but i dont think he is better than yngwie. Yngwie is soo much faster than Laiho.Just check out the song called blitzkrieg by Yngwie. But I do think Laiho is better than Vai. And i think they are more black metal than death metal.

i been wondering this for a while. Whats the different between death and black metal?

NoHopeNoFuture

10-23-2004, 07:05 PM

well for one thing the voices, second is lyrics death metal lyrics are pretty stupid and black metal are more about midevil times,vikings and the war on christianity, and third black metal is more melodic and use more accoustics and use Orchestras.

Revolver-2005?

10-23-2004, 07:09 PM

yeah i listen to em a little theyre pretty good

Jebus

10-23-2004, 07:12 PM

what is it about the voices that make the band death or black?

NoHopeNoFuture

10-23-2004, 07:14 PM

Death Metal voice is a deep yell or grunt While Black metal is more like Children of Bodom style of singing

But Alexi's lyrics ARE stupid :p , not like canibal corpse stupid but they're kinda shit.

well IMO he's better than Yngwie. I love Yngwie, but he's a one trick pony; put anything apart from Neo-classical shit infront of him and he wouldn't be able to do it as good as he does what he does

Ugh, no thanks. I like Laiho's another project "Kylähullut" more, it's more punkrock. ;)

Bodom Beach Terror
Silent Night, Bodom Night

I just had to comment on something here... I really don't think being fast on the fret board is being a good guitarist, i mean... i could learn hendrix... or via... or yngwie... i have... but that doesn't make me good, it's because I make things up, I don't relly on playing other bands music and my speed... you know, silence can be even more important at times than a note... "Notes are one clever way to get from one silence to another." this is a true statement... And just for the record, i mean no disrespect to you or anything. Just stating what i think makes a true musician.
And as for Childern of Bodom, I do like their music, as a matter of fact I am seeing them tuesday with Fear Factory, Lamb of God and Throwdown... looking forward to that. Anyway, take care

I'd like to correct my statement so that they have one really awesome song; In Your Face: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLAjKtmT3lk

One of my favourite songs at the moment.

Come out and smash'em up!

04-12-2008, 03:36 PM

I really like them really much, eventhough their newest album "bloodrunk" is a bit of a bitte piece. I have seen them like four times live and they have always been great. my favorite album is Hatebreeder, and best songs imo:

Needled 24/7
Downfall
Northern Comfort
Touch like an angel of death
Sixpounder
Everytime i die
in your face
Are you dead yet?
Trashed,Losta & Strungout

I've only recently discovered them, but I already love their music. Currently addicted to Taste Of My Scythe and Bed Of Razors. And their covers (Talk Dirty To Me, Somebody Put Something In My Drink, Aces High) are awesome too.

Blooddrunk is a little dissapointing.

They still fucking rule though.

04-14-2008, 01:39 PM

Yeah, they are great. I also prefer more Kylähullut's music, ain't there also Vesku Jokinen..? can't remember right now.

and I love this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyfqi2_230E

I saw COB 2-3 years ago and they were amazing live. It was the tour with Trivium and Amon Amarth (This is the best Melodic Death Metal Band along with At the Gates).

I love Children of Bodom but i gotta say, blooddrunk is disappointing. They got too nu-metal for me.

Their Aces High cover is a mislabel. That cover is actually by a very underground melodic death metal band which i can't remember the name for.
